May 30 to June 15, 2025

Houston Asian American Pacific
Islander Film Festival

Started in 2004 by OCA-Greater Houston, the Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival, or HAAPIFEST, was created to highlight and celebrate the diversity of AAPI culture, food, and family, to support AAPI artists and filmmakers, and to share the untold AAPI experience for the Greater Houston metropolitan area through edutainment.

Today, HAAPIFEST is an immersive, multi-day celebration of film, music, and art, showcased by a dedicated committee of volunteers.

It is our pleasure to inform you that the Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival will be held between May 30, 2025 and June 15, 2025. We encourage you to mark your calendar and spread the word about the festival to your friends, family, and colleagues.

The mission of HAAPIFEST is to promote and develop Asian and Asian American innovators in the film and entertainment industry, promote Houston as a cultural destination for the arts, and educate the AAPI and wider communities through the visual storytelling of Asians and Asian Americans.

Thank you for your interest and support, and we look forward to seeing you at HAAPIFEST. Visit haapifest.org for the latest information.
